About a week ago, Groundhouse Media worked with Pestle Mortar Clothing for the second time to create their Summer '14 collection lookbook video and instead of a coming-of-age story like the previous one, point8cam decided that Bam the pug, a part of the PNM family, be centre of attention this time around. The talents were Nicholas Mak and Ana Lucia.

Here are the promo and the full lookbook video shot in one day.

When I was younger, I would dread the times when my parents dragged me to household shopping. It felt endless and nothing excites me. That lasted until I got married, have our own place instead of living with our parents and started to cook and hosting friends. I became the makcik (a Malay term for typical Asian auntiesm usually loud and easily amused by womanly things). I guess as an angsty teen I never realised that this would be a rite of passage most women would go through. Believe me, it has nothing to do with degrading women but I feel more confident as a modern woman who knows how to handle myself in the house and also the kitchen.

With that, nothing excites me more than the launch of H&M Home in Malaysia. I actually find it more exciting than a new pair of shoes. H&M Malaysia invited me to the preview of the things that would be in store with a warning - what you're seeing (in the photos below) are only a small fraction of the range that would be available this 24th July 2014 at Avenue K branch.

H&M Home proudly introduces their Autumn designs, inspired by the softness of Nordic autumn light in shades of grey and soft pastels. A hint of glimmer is achieved with some metallics on brass bowls, trays, candleholders and other functional decor. To give your home a little opulence, textures and contrast, there are velvet and PU leather cushion covers, laced bed accessories and more. For the autumn dining table, combination of glass and wood creates a lovely contrast that still have the essence of homely warmth. There's something for everyone at H&M Home - eclectic pieces mixed with vintage glass, modern metallics and Scandinavian style minimalist. You are bound to find a piece to bring back home.

Here are some photos I took from the preview, I hope you like them and don't forget to check out other photos on instagram under the hashtags #hmhome and #hmmalaysia. You can view the available range and their prices by clicking HERE.

I rarely show up at events anymore, unless it is to support friends and the people I love working with within the industry as I'm concentrating much more on life as a housewife and running WhateverThereWas. This year, my KLFW love goes out to Tsyahmi, Bobbi Brown Malaysia team and the Melium group for inviting me to be a part of this annual event.

Tsyahmi dressed me up for the Farah Khan show in a beautiful hand-painted dress from their latest runway collection. The white midi dress coupled with their outer was beautiful and I felt like an ethereal princess walking up and down Pavilion and it surely turned heads. I missed out on their runway show but looking at the photos from their Facebook, it looks fabulous.

Bobbi Brown's team was ever so patient answering my endless questions at the makeup and hair area before the runway shows. The makeup artists that were flown in were super friendly and they were the ones in charge of making sure the looks were on point before the models go on stage. Each look was created by Bobbi Brown Malaysia team for the designers and you can see their preparation here.

Farah Khan RTW Fall/Winter 2014 started with some casual sweaters and ended with a total sequinned out collection in true Farah Khan style. The dresses were lovely and seemed to be inspired by the 60's. There were plenty of shift dress cuts, houndstooth and geometric prints. The models' hair were slicked back with simple winged liners. My personal favourite is this high-neck dress that model Deanna Ibrahim and bright orange dress with knee boots that Tuti wore when they strutted down the runway.
